Lightyears
by the Eraserheads

Big dipper north of nowhere,
Outside the room inside my mind
Look forward to tomorrow
But can I leave yesterday behind?

How it feels so strange
To have grown and change
Now it's not the same

Coz time slips and slides into another place and
Try as we might to understand each other
Doesn't really matter where you are
It always seems so very far
It's like you're lightyears away
You're lightyears away from me

Little dipper south of somewhere,
It looks much closer than it really is
I held it in my hands
But you're forever out of reach

Far as the eye can see
Nothing is meant to be
Doesn't mean much to me

But oh, if I only had a rocketship to fly
I'd be right there in a minute
But it doesn't really matter where you are
However near it still so far
It's like you're lightyears away
You're lightyears away from me...

Far as the eye can see
Nothing is meant to be
Doesn't mean much to me

But time slips and slides into another place and
Try as we might to understand each other
Doesn't really matter where you are
It always seems so very far
It's like you're lightyears away
You're lightyears away from me

Look forward to tomorrow
But can I leave yesterday behind...

The song that will forever be in my repeat-playlist, my ultimate favorite song by my ultimate favorite band. This one always brings me to tears. ARGH.
